I just realized the N64 never got good jrpgs and fighting games.
>>12594965You forgot shadows of the empire and donkey kong 64
>>12594969Neither Shmup or visual novelThe N64 is the most american of japanese consoles,only genre popular in the US got good representation like FPS,3D platformers or wrestling games
>>12594969Because JRPGs and fighting games need a lot of storage for graphics and sounds. Cartridge is N64's archiles heels.
>>12594965The xbox 360 of its time.
Mogged in its complete entirety by a single Saturn title.
>>12595169I loved my Saturn but lets be real, Nights had very little replay value was not challenging in the slightest.
>>12594965Only 16 good games?
>>12594965>Goldeneye
>>12594978>Neither ShmupIt got one last year
>>12595203Buto160o buckos 64bito gaemo
>>12595169Shilling tranny clown in this thread..... WHY?
>>12594965Thos games have been surpassed
>>12595801>>needs an easy to misplace$10 from ebay. if that. >>without something inserted into the expansion port the system will not boot rendering the console literally unplayable$50 or less. RAM expansion was something that was supposed to be permanent. I don't think nintendo predicted retards would strip n64s of their ram expansions to sell separately and then sell the consoles without the jumper pak. Nintendo made so many millions of the fuckin things (RAM expansions and consoles).
>>12595801Thats how rambus works
the PS1 had hundreds of good games, what is your point
>>12594965Behold niggas the crown jewel of great obscure n64 games.
>>12594996Fighting games need that much storage...?
>>12596721Not really. Home ports from the era are often bloated because of CD music and shitFor example, the arcade version of Tekken 3 is only 31 MB
>>12596721>Fighting games need that much storage...?No. That anon you're replying to is out of his mind>>12596768>CD music and shitYes
>>12596713I remember renting this from a video store! It was a cool game, I liked it, but the graphics weren't very good. specifically the terrain and draw distance - Midway should have called the game "Fog of War"
>>1259676831 MB is compressed zip archive. Actual rom size is 40 MB which 320 Mbit. N64 didn't get cartridges this big until 2000. The biggest 1998 N64 game was Zelda OOT at 256 Mbit and for third parties 256 Mbit carts became available only the next year. So yeah, 40 Mb doesn't seem like much but in context of N64 cart rom sizes, it's a lot.
>>12597357You could still get the game on N64 with much smaller compromises than something like RE2, which was reduced to around 10% of it's original sizeTekken 3 would just need to be reduced to around 80% of it's original size to fit on a 32 MB cart
>>12597374Yeah, my point is just about rom sizes needed for fighting games in general. 3D fighters still need to store a lot of animation data, even if they don't use sprites.I think the only real problem with making fighting games on the N64 was just literally not having anyone else who was good at fighting games willing to do it. Rare made KI Gold and then became busy with scotformers and shooters, which were much better received. Nintendo themselves made Smash. Midway and Konami were active 3rd parties on the platform and they even made some fighting games on the N64 but their fighting games were crap regardless of the platform. It's not N64's fault that War Gods and Deadly Arts sucked.Sega and SNK were bound to their own platfroms and Namco and Capcom were very reluctant about working with Nintendo
